We evil gods must hide.

Chapter 28 Chaotic and Disordered Divine Power

In an instant, ten points of divinity transformed into fifty points of power that surged into Lin Qi's body.

His previously weak and powerless arms instantly straightened up.

"Get out of my way!"

With the force of the impact, the grocery store owner, who was clinging to him tightly, was lifted nearly a meter into the air by the weight of the nearly 200-pound woman before crashing heavily to the ground.

Lynch is on top.

His expression turned slightly strange. Although the woman beneath him had mutated, she was still quite soft.

But now is not the time to think about these things!

Lin Qi suddenly rolled over, trying to grab the landlady by the neck with both hands to control her, but he didn't expect her to be much faster than him.

hiss~

Lin Qi's hand was bitten by the other party.

[Prompt: Unclaimed faith power has entered your body. Absorb it?]

The system notified me as I was in pain.

"Absorb your grandpa!"

"no!"

[Note: The veto is invalid; unclaimed faith power has already surged in!]

[Faith +1 +1 +1]

The influx of boundless faith power made Lynch feel extremely uncomfortable, exactly the same as when he was in the goblin cave.

How could these infected people be associated with that unclaimed faith?

Lin Qi couldn't figure it out for a moment.

However, the excruciating pain in his hand prompted him to use his skill—memory stripping—in desperation.

The next second, the grocery store owner suddenly froze on the spot, a hint of confusion flashing in her purple eyes. Her movements gradually slowed down, and her mouth gradually opened.

But Lin Qi suddenly clutched his head, feeling a splitting headache, as if countless needles were pricking his temples. His vision blurred, and his mind was a chaotic mess filled with fragmented, primal, and indescribable images, like the chill of a harsh winter spreading from his mind to his entire body.

[Faith +999]

at the same time.

Deep within the Misty Forest, a pair of golden vertical pupils slowly opened, filled with curiosity. Facing the direction of Silverleaf Town, it let out a soft moan, its voice weak yet carrying an inexplicable majesty, as if searching for something interesting.

...

On Lynch's side.

He groaned, rolled to the side, covered his head with his hands, and gasped for breath. It took him a long time to recover.

Touching it, I found my forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The grocery store owner lay to one side, staring blankly at the sky.

"This skill really shouldn't be used carelessly, it fucking hurts."

Lin Qi cursed under his breath, feeling the surge of power within his body. A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself: "Luckily, I have ten points of divinity, otherwise this would have been truly dangerous."

However, the divinity that had been accumulated for so long was gone.

They've run out of cards.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and walked toward the alley entrance.

Still haven't found Ella and Neil? Maybe we should check the Adventurers' Guild and the Temple of Fairness; they might be hiding there. Carefully making his way through, avoiding several waves of wandering infected, Lynch soon arrived at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild. Looking into the distance, he instantly gasped in horror.

The entrance to the Adventurers' Guild was densely packed with infected individuals, all with purple eyes, roaring and pounding on the heavy wooden door, which was already on the verge of collapse. The sounds of adventurers' resistance could be faintly heard from inside.

Lynch looked to the other side.

The Temple of Fairness, not far away, was in no better shape, also completely surrounded by infected. Faint light shone from the temple's windows, with occasional flashes of golden light protecting the small temple and barely keeping out these violet-eyed, mindless beings.

Lin Qi squinted and carefully scanned the area. He couldn't find Ella and Neil anywhere, whether it was at the guild entrance or around the temple. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little worried.

Where are they? Could something have really happened to them?

He didn't dare linger; there were too many infected people, and even with his greatly increased combat power, he couldn't withstand the sheer number of them.

Even with memory stripping, if surrounded, one might not be able to escape unscathed.

I was a bit impulsive; I should have assigned some more agility.

Lin Qi shook his head and turned to leave.

As agreed, we headed back to the weapon shop, our steps light and quick, and the journey went smoothly without any further trouble.

As soon as I arrived at the weapon shop, I saw that the door was ajar and I could hear familiar conversations coming from inside.

Lynch was overjoyed and gently pushed open the door. He saw Cole, Ella, and Neil inside, their faces still showing signs of panic. Cole was leaning against the wall with a serious expression.

"Lin Qi! Are you alright?!"

Ella saw him and immediately rushed over, her eyes filled with surprise and joy. "We thought you were in danger!"

The little girl's freckles revealed her happiness.

"Don't worry, I'm tough."

Lin Qi felt a warmth in his heart, smiled, patted her shoulder, and then looked at Cole, "I went to the guild and the temple, but they were surrounded and killed by infected. I didn't see you, so I rushed back."

Cole nodded, his tone heavy: "When I found Ella and Neil, the direction of the shopping street was already a mess. We had to dodge and weave our way back here with great difficulty."

"It looks like the town has completely fallen. The number of infected people is increasing. We must leave quickly, or it will be too late."

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the Temple of Fairness in Silverleaf Town.

The gate shook incessantly.

Two temple warriors were positioned, one holding the door open and the other pinning down a struggling person whose eyes were a deep purple and who was constantly roaring; the person was clearly infected.

The priest squatted down, looking directly at the former, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Yes, it's the result of the power of otherworldly gods infiltrating this plane."

His gaze fell upon the soldier in front of him.

The other person was the one who followed Lynch to the Goblin Cave.

Even with his advanced physical abilities, he was still somewhat exhausted after completely subduing the crazed infected person.

"High Priest, what kind of evil god is this, that has created such chaos?"

His body was as thick as an iron tower, and he opened his mouth to ask.

"Please answer, great God of Justice."

The priest whispered, then pulled out a golden test tube-like object and shoved it forcefully into the infected person's mouth. Amid the latter's whimpering cries and violent struggles, the test tube was quickly filled with purple liquid.

Then the priest took it out and examined it closely.

Inside was a flowing purple liquid, like mist. Upon closer inspection, the mist would become extremely turbulent when it touched the edge of the test tube, causing the priest's hands to tremble.

"Chaotic and disordered divine power."

The priest frowned.

"What era are we living in? Who would be so bored as to cause trouble in our prime material plane?"

"Alright, keep an eye on this guy and stay vigilant. I'm going to summon reinforcements from the higher-level temple."

The priest held the test tube in his hand and then walked into the inner room.

"yes!"

However, none of them noticed that as the golden test tube held in the priest's hand trembled, a few cracks appeared at the bottom.
